Painted another tiny landscape in #watercolour Postage stamp for size reference. Weather currently is so hot, that layering and painting is tricky, but painting is still fun. Even more in tiny sizes. #art #artist #painting

Little landscape painting with a purple-orange sky and green grass with a flat lake surface. Next to it a postage stamp with sponge bob picture, which is the same size as the miniature painting next to it.

LanaGoesArt@lanaarts· May 1

Little landscape I painted yesterday. It's not the right season, but I really like how it turned out. And it fits my current mood... #art #artist #landscape #watercolor #aquarell #watercolour

A little piece of paper with edges uneven from ripping the paper, two brushes next to it and another paper with squares of colors. On the paper is a painted landscape with white borders around. The landscape is painted in muted colors of brown and grey, an overcast sky, bare trees missing leaves, brown grass and a dark grey road leading nowhere.

Urban sketching has been fun last year and is equally fun this year too. I explored some new set ups for me last weekend and wrote a tiny post about them. Read it on my blog: lanagoesart.com/blog/2026/Ap... #watercolour #sketching #painting #usk #urbansketching #art #artist

Open sketchbook on a bench with a tiny palette next to it, a travel brush and a tissue with paint spots. The painting shows a man sitting on a bench, reading, surrounded by stone pillars and green plants climbing up those pillars. And on the left a stone bridge with decorations.

Open page of a small sketchbook that shows pencil drawings of a dog. Behind it is an empty glass and legs of people at a neighbor table, with the pup inbetween.

Open sketchbook with the sketch of a lady with short hair. She's seen from the back and the actual lady is seen sitting on the bench behind the sketchbook. She is drawn in markers: orange, turquoise and purple. But the image still appears consistent.

Open sketchbook on a table with another marker sketch in the same three colors. Showing a man from the side, who sits at a table. He probably just ate...

LanaGoesArt@lanaarts· Apr 25

Quick morning sketch with pencil. I like the idea of capturing the world around me more often. Quick sketches of the things around me and I've been using this small sketchbooks for it. They're easy to take with me too. #art #sketching #drawing #pencil #artist

Open sketchbook on a wooden desk and a pencil next to it. On the white page is a simple drawing of a dog head from above looking very concerned.

LanaGoesArt@lanaarts· Apr 20

Sometimes I just want simplicity... so I turned to simple - very simple - sketches with only 3 markers on the couch... this time inspired by a comment on Reddit. An unexpected love for onions. This is for you onion enjoyers! #onions #onion #sketch #sketching #artist #art #simplicity

Spread in a sketchbook showing notes on the left page saying "... without onions it would be a sad world to live in..." and beneath: "from a random reddit poster.

On the right side is a sketch in orange, turquoise and purple showing 2 yellow onions on turquoise ground and purple shading.

LanaGoesArt@lanaarts· Apr 6

I feel we overthink how we approach art and to some extent life often-times. Yesterday on stream I sketched this one using three markers (orange, turquoise and purple), quickly and loosely. Art and life is about discovering new things. So please, play! #art #artist #watercolor #cat #cats

Watercolor like ink sketch in orange, turquoise and purple of an orange cat on a blanket, that looks up playfully.

LanaGoesArt@lanaarts· Apr 5

Just finished two small paintings for a friend who passed away this week... it feels crazy and unreal. Take care of yourself people. #art #watercolour #artist #animalart

Painting of two dogs, German Shepherds, cuddled up on a couch with a bright pink underpainting shining through the layers of watercolor. The dogs are looking at you, curious, full of expectation.

LanaGoesArt@lanaarts· Apr 3

I did a thing... I fell for the cute watercolour tins, because you know... it's nice when they don't all look the same. Paints are student grade at best, no pigment info... I painted a bookmark... Will paint more. The bookmark paper pad is wildly overpriced... Don't do as I do. #art #watercolour

Watercolor bookmark showing a muted blue sky, a landscape with a mountain, forest and lake and a big tree in the foreground with golden sunlit branches.

LanaGoesArt@lanaarts· Feb 22

Finished this lovely Siamese kitty a while ago. It was a memorial piece for a dear friend and I hope she enjoys it. Painting memorial pieces is a part of art, but truly I believe they're so worth it and I hope the owners enjoy this little piece of memory in their home. #art #watercolor #cats

Watercolor painting of a siamese cat in a grey basket. All cuddles up and cozy. Looking at you with ice blue eyes.

LanaGoesArt@lanaarts· Jan 28

This cutie was from a Christmas Secret Santa collab and is called Lyra. She's the best friend of an artist friend of mine @dan-b-artist.bsky.social Have a great time and be nerdy! #art #artist #cat #animalart #watercolor

Watercolor paiting of a cat, that is laying down on something soft and pink. She looks at you with green-teal eyes and a cute face. Her fur is grey brown with stripes and she has little black tufts at the top of her ears.

LanaGoesArt@lanaarts· Dec 23

This is Eddy, a gorgeous boy who lives a happy life with a friend. Painted in watercolor as a tiny gift for Christmas. #art #artist #watercolor #cats #traditionalart

A watercolor painting with a light blue grainy background. In the center it shows a portrait of a black cat with a white collar and deep yellow to orange eyes. The whiskers are beautifully white and mighty.

LanaGoesArt@lanaarts· Dec 20

This is Ruka, one of the best pups out there. He has a perfectly pink snout and great attitude. Also his owner is a dear friend and an artist. #art #artist #traditionalArt #waterColor #painting #dog

Watercolor portrait of a white shepherd dog with big ears and kind brown eyes and a pink nose with black dots. He looks wonderfully fluffy and almost as if he smiles at you. The background is green with some blue spekles.

LanaGoesArt@lanaarts· Dec 19

Little Wizbit is one of the pets that made it into this years Christmas pet portrait raffle - love the pose and the fluffyness. I know the owner is an artist too, who enjoys granulation and so I leaned into it for the fur and background a lot. #art #artist #traditionalart #watercolor #cats #cat

Watercolor painting of a cat, that is sitting in a tree with blue sky behind it and branches. The cat looks up, so we mostly see the nose and snout of the face and one ear, it's black and white, perfectly fluffy and wonderful. The color the fur is painted with separates into bluish, reddish and brownish in some areas giving the painting some texture.

LanaGoesArt@lanaarts· Dec 9

This gorgeous old lady is Jude and it's a memorial portrait for this lovely pup. Jude lived with a friend and it was an honour to paint her sweet lovely face. Upon request she got a background full of pink flowers. #art #artist #dog #portrait #watercolor #painting #traditionalArt

Watercolor portrait of a dog with a white chest and brown face, it's very fluffy and the hairs go everywhere. The snout is slightly crooked, which makes her face the more lovely. In the background are many pink loose flowers.

LanaGoesArt@lanaarts· Dec 8

And because I like to share with you guys... I've been out sketching a lot this weekend, Friday and Saturday both. Lovely places, lovely company, tiny palette and a few minutes to capture the scene. #art #urbansketching #usk #uskNürnberg #sketching #onlocation #traditionalart #watercolor

Open sketchbook on a table, a tiny palette above it and a cup with dark tea on the right with a tiny cookie placed next to the cup on a spoon. The sketch shows two people talking at a table in a restaurant setting.

Open sketchbook with a sketch of people sitting in a restaurant. Outside the window is dark night. They look old and busy chatting. Comfortable with their company.

It's been a while, but of course Heribert is excited for Christmas, baking cookies, writing friends and sending lots of cards too. Hope you're all excited too. For me, it's always a cozy time with colorful lights and cozy evenings. #art #comic #fountainpen #heribert

Comic in a small sketchbook, drawn with a fountain pen.

Image 1: A dragon is baking cookies that are heart shaped and round.
Text: Baking cookies...

Image 2: A dragon is sitting at a table, with a brush in the paw and papers on the table. There is paint and one of the papers shows a painted tree.
Text: Painting and writing cards to friends...

Image 3: The dragon is outside wearing a scarf and envelopes in the paw, he comes to a little person waving at him, who waits with a horse carriage for the letters, because the dragon letters are too big for the mail box.
Text: And of course sending them with a special carriage because of the size. Heribert is clearly preparing for christmas.

LanaGoesArt@lanaarts· Dec 1

Painted sweet wonderful Levi on stream yesterday. The fur is so tricky, but it was enjoyable once I figured out how to present him the best and create that soft shading to make him appear less flat. Beautiful pup. #art #artist #watercolors #traditionalArt #dogs #portrait

Portrait of a dog with green background, painted in watercolor and a signature on the bottom right. The dog is white with black markings and cute eyes, staring lovingly at you. Probably begging for a treat.

LanaGoesArt@lanaarts· Nov 24

Portrait of little Dorian, a viewer request from one of my streams. The owner is curious about the #pigment PBk19 and so it's what I used to paint him. With additional goodie of PO49 for the bell. Dorian is so adorable, it was lots of fun to paint him. #art #traditionalart #artist #watercolor #cat

Watercolor panting of a kitten in grey tones, only the bell on his collar is orange.

Went to an urban sketcher's meeting in Nürnberg on Sunday and it was really nice. Met awesome people, nerded about paints and sketched. Love to meet people with passions. #art #urbansketching #usk #traditionalart #watercolor #sketch

Photo of a sketch in front of the thing... it's a mirrorthat looks like a window. In front are rows of books. In the mirrorI can see a a staircase and paintings on the wall.

Sketch of plants and a roof that is partially covered with glass, muted and dirty and partially without, which allows a look at what's behind. There is a tree behind. Everything looks messy and rustic. The sketch looks messy, colors flow into each other.

Sketchbook and my sketching setup on a table in a cafe. It's a small sketchbook, a tiny palette, a pen and travel brushes. Simple... one sketch of the mirror is already done.

Both sketches of the day shown on a table. On the left a mirror, almost seeming like a window, showing the world behind it. On the right a messy urban setting with plants half hidden behind murky glass.

Some times are tough. It's ok. It's ok to hide and to recover and it's ok to seek out friends for a hug and go back to normal once ready. Heribert needed this too. Take care of yourself lovely people, you're worthy. Full comic, scanned here: ko-fi.com/album/Advent... #art #comic #fountainpen

Comic drawn with a fountain pen in a small sketchbook. The fountain pen is next to it. A warm brown ink was used to draw it.

Image 1: A little dragon is sad and reading a letter, that starts with sorry...
Text: Sometimes life gives us sad news and all feels tough.

Image 2: The dragon is hiding in his beds, with the blanket pulled up, only his eyes and ears are showing.
Text: It's ok to hide and rest for a while to recover.

Image 3: The dragon hugs another dragon friend, who is smiling kindly.
Text: It's the best feeling then to return to life and spend time with a friend. Heart.

New tutorial will happen tomorrow live on twitch during my usual stream time: www.twitch.tv/lanagoesart/ Just basic supplies, no sketch, everyone is welcome to paint along. #art #paintingtutorial #painting #TraditionalArt

Loose watercolor painting of a sunlit autumn sky. Very simple yet with character and charme.

A day early but Heribert is very excited for Halloween. ;) Have a great Thursday and even better day tomorrow! Full gallery of comics: ko-fi.com/album/Advent... #art #Comics #fountainpen

A page with a comic showing a little dragon (unseen) under a blanket dressed like a ghost for halloween. There is a banner above it saying happy halloween and a speech bubble saying "trick or treat!"
It holds a little pumpking shaped bucket in its paws.

The text underneath says: It's ok to have fun and play! So enjoy your day and celebrate!

There is a fountain pen, open, next to the page on the table.

Good morning and welcome to another Heribert Thursday! Hope you all get cozy and can enjoy some delicious pumpkin soup too! #art #comic #heribert #fountainpen

Text: But the best is, that he also gets to decorate his cave with carved ones!

LanaGoesArt@lanaarts· Oct 20

Painted another viewer request yesterday - a wolf... to make it fun, I painted him swimming. I get why he looks not amused... water was probably cold. But he made it surely safely out the water. www.twitch.tv/lanagoesart/ #art #artist #traditionalart #animalart #watercolor

Watercolor painting of a wolf swimming, only the top of the wolf is visible, his fur orange to black is wet. He looks ahead, focused, the snout is white with a black nose. His silhouette mirrored in the water surface, broken by ripples in the water.

LanaGoesArt@lanaarts· Oct 17

A little experiment with gouache on tinted paper... the tinted paper is not the experiment, but the kind of paper. It's mixed media and not really ideal for wet media, but it behaved well enough and I like the green hue a lot. #art #painting #traditionalart #gouache

gouache painting of a swallow on green paper, the painting is opaque and covers the green nicely, though it shows around the painted area a lot. The swallow sits on a railing made of a thick rope. The face is orange with a tiny beak and it's very fluffy.

LanaGoesArt@lanaarts· Oct 16

Another Heribert Thursday ... almost forgot. But how can I, he's too precious... and his friends are too! More adventures of Heribert here: ko-fi.com/album/Advent... Have a great day everyone! #art #comic #heribert #fountainpen #KofiCreativeVoice

Open sketchbook with a comic and a fountain pen next to it.
